For Chinese and Asian American Families Navigating Mental Health and Parenting
Hi, I’m Dr. Ruoxi Chen.
I’m a licensed therapist, professor, and mom of a spirited 6-year-old.
For over 16 years, I’ve helped Chinese and Asian American families make sense of their emotional lives — from parenting and postpartum to intergenerational conflict and identity.
I offer culturally attuned therapy for individuals and couples — and now, I'm building courses to support you at every step of your family journey.
This supports both therapy and course discovery.
Common issues I help Chinese/Asian American clients with:
– Postpartum distress and anxiety
– Parent-child and in-law tension
– Emotional overwhelm and burnout
– Relationship conflict and emotional disconnection
– Family-of-origin issues (perfectionism, guilt, invisibility)
